Hi there,

Is there any DTD or Schema for the VM's XML file? I found an interesting doc called "Domain XML Format", on the libvirt website, which explains all the elements but didn't find any reference to a Schema or DTD.

Look in the libvirt source under docs/schemas. The toplevel file for a virtual machine (aka "domain") is domain.rng. In practice there is some validation that can't be done in the RNG, but it's a fairly reasonable approximation :-)
